Back to normality.  Another busy day at our peak district cottages with one cottage out and three back in.  Went down to Bakewell first thing for Farmers Market.  As I was there very early it looked quiet but as I was leaving the cars were queueing to get in.  Back to Bolehill.  One cleaner up and without the pressure today she had a blitz on ovens.  First two cottages here by 4pm with final one about 5pm. They have been before.  Although a lot sunnier today it was still quite breezy and it is still dry. Chris didnt even need to cut the grass and even Green Cowden are worrying about lack of grass for sheep.  Smudge and Blue have been in demand for being stroked and playing with some of the children here over the long weekend.

Weather stats for April.  A measly 0.42 in rain (only 1.18 in last April).  Wettest day 5th with 0.16 in.  It has hardly rained since.  Highest temp 22.1 deg C on 23rd which was the warmest day with preceding night being warmest night.  Lowest temp was 2 deg C on 28th with coldest day 4th and coldest night 3rd.  Reached 5.1 on the UV scale so get the sun cream out!
